The content validity determined by the IOC (Index of item Objective Congruence) was rated at 0.86. The whole reliability of the test as shown by The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was 0.77. Training period of 8 weeks consisted of 4 days per week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday respectively). Test of the motor skills of the autism children performed in the frist and the last week of training period. The statistics used for data analysis were mean, standard deviation, and t - test.
